    Lots of lovely bead necklaces. The most unusual for me are the pink glass and orange beads as they fluoresce under black light so I think they are amber. The glass leaves are destined to mend a fruit necklace that has a couple of leaves missing and the coral brooch is sadly broken so just for my interest.
    I love a bit of Royal Memorabilia, unfortunately the money clip/ book mark has some staining to the metal that I’m not sure will clean up but the enamel is nice. Cool pics in the little book. Thanks for looking :)

    Oblong and diamond shape brooches are Czech stamped brass. The other one is interesting: millefiori canes with a signature cane. Close up?

    Love those yellow beads!.Very similar with that little ridge in the centre.
    I thought it was a slightly unusual mix having pink glass and Amber together.

    Sorry about that, the email I sent to myself to resize the pics never appeared so I tried to post from the iPad who had a hissy fit about sharing the iphones pictures :rolleyes:. The iPad is very senior and thinks the iPhone is a whippersnapper.

    Glad it worked. I hate it when gadgets turn on each other and leave you to pick up the pieces.:rolleyes::rage:

    The coral branches are genuine coral.:happy:
    The central cab looks like it was once a faux pearl. Another project for you to make pretty again.:)

    Definitely 'once' a faux pearl!. I've got lots of bits of branch coral from the broken necklace I picked up a couple of weeks ago.
    What sort of age does the clasp date it to do you think?.

    That depends on where it was made. That hinge was introduced in the 1890s, but I think this is 1910s-1920s.
    @Ownedbybear will know, European costume jewellery is more her field of expertise than mine.;)

    Dunno about that. ;)

    Bohemian/czech stamped and pressed, 1910a or 20s, but interesting and unusual. I suspect the millefiori canes are Venetian, and the coral will be somewhere in the Med. Surmise that the backs were made en masse and shipped over to Murano. Shame there's two missing. I really like it.

    I’ll have to try to restore it. Slightly ambitious project but I don’t think I can make it worse than it is. I’ve got some coral, I’ll track down some millefiori, just to work out what to set it into as it almost looks like plaster.
